Virgo – The focus this month is on your Tenth House (Gemini) and Eighth House (Aries). So, your vocation and your finances. Your career and your house. Your course and your apartment. Your unpaid role and your business interests. Uranus in Gemini does rather suggest a revolutionary departure from the way things were earlier this year and in 2023/2024 and so on. It can be the revolution that sets you and others free if you choose. Commonsense says there is a connection between your income and what you do with your life, but there may be two separate stories going on here. One may directly concern your position and ambition (in which case freedom will find you) and another (quite distinct from this) may concern your wife and her money (say) or your father and a legacy (for example).
This dual transit of Neptune and Saturn in Aries in your solar Eighth House is rather like owning an Antiques Roadshow heirloom and never being able to sell it. The escape from fiscal reality and the heavy reality of the escape! This transit is new and historic and does not come with an instruction book. So, you have to manufacture your own response and also know that your career, course or unpaid calling is so unpredictable that you have to factor that in as well. The last thing you expected to happen is the first thing that will happen – professionally, academically or in your unpaid role, Virgo. Uranus in Gemini is like that.
But back to money and the material. This intricately involves your partner and/or a family member. Do you have Taurus factors? Scorpio factors? Cancer factors? If you have natal Taurus and/or Cancer/Scorpio factors, then the road to November 2025 is as predictable as it used to be before 2018 when everything started to become blockchain levels of strange. Uranus is out of Taurus. Gone from your Second and no longer opposing your Eighth. Jupiter is in Cancer. Globally, there is a dramatic rise and fall in property prices going on, enabling a worldwide real estate shift to your advantage if you do have Cancer factors.
Saturn and Neptune in the Eighth will commonly concern a rented apartment, a de facto partnership, marriage, mortgage, a husband-wife business or charity, an inheritance you leave or a will where you stand to inherit. If you do have Scorpio factors, this becomes twice as important. If so, you have two distinct phases. Now through November 2025 when what was never certain becomes much more so. Then from November 2025 to April 2026 when the usual storms return but with an end point of Easter next year. Then…gone forever.
Whatever your birth chart looks like, you still need tried, tested and trusted advice from an accountant or financial whizz to help you deal with the heavy, ring-fenced waiting game (Saturn) and the utterly unreal alternative of Neptune. Property prices are Neptune. They ebb and flow with the tides and the horizon is an illusion. If you do have Cancer factors in your chart, this is likely to be the main story and expertise could be useful. Find a way out of the real world that you can treat as a vacation from the usual numbers, but accept it will come with rules, deadlines, restrictions and waiting games.
I am increasingly avoiding mainstream, bland, Americanese when writing about astrology as the rip-off and theft by A.I. is so blatant. They do like to rob me blind if the words I use are palatable to the masses. That’s not you or you would not be here. So, just for you, I would describe the revolution taking place in your solar Tenth House as unavoidable and inevitable with its own Storming of the Bastille moment and certainly its own Boston Tea Party. You’re back there in 1781 or thereabouts.
It will feel very new. You’ve not had this transit in your adult life. It doesn’t happen all at once and certainly not in August, Virgo. You have until 2033 to see the full implications. A side hustle can become the main hustle if you find it liberating and exhilarating enough. You can walk out of a job or see somebody who was supposed to be the boss go out of the picture. All of that. The aforementioned A.I. is taking work away from millions and is an existential threat to many industries including astrology. That has to break at some point. You may see it break now or later but it’s coming.
Shocks in the industry, business or profession are common. The shock of (insert event here) forces you to completely change the way you work and also the way you define success. ‘With a rebel yell’ according to Mr. Idol. You do get rebellion in the ranks on this transit, but it can be against you as well as by you.
The Romans defined Uranus after the Greeks and turned him into a Was (Not Was) anthem. Woodwork squeaks and out come the freaks. I daresay August 2025 will be one big squeak but there will be more by 2033. Uranus is invention. There will be new inventions, new technology and innovations not yet imagined. It will directly affect your profession and, perhaps, another you choose.
The release of people and organisations from entrapment is a characteristic of any Uranus transit. People are reborn or just born – Venus was born from sea foam. (You don’t want to know the foam emerged, trust me). The thing about August is that none of this may last. Strange, but true. If at any point the ‘new, different, new, different’ becomes restrictive with Uranus in your Tenth, it is highly unlikely it will last.
You also have karma from 18-19 years ago to accept, Virgo, with your work, course or unpaid work. The South Node in Virgo is transiting your natal Sixth of service and duty and if it didn’t already land on your Sun, it will do so by 2026. So, there is déjà vu here. You are owed or you owe. Karmically.
